hey again, I've got an NEC MultiSync LCD1555V here, which a friend
gave to me, and it's not working right. you turn it on, and the screen
is lit up, but no picture - or so I thought. after disassembling it,
and not finding anything visibly wrong with it, I put it back together
and as I was putting the case back together I figured I'd plug it in
and try it again right quick. I did so, and I was holding it at an
angle. apparently there is picture. it's just so bright that it's not
visible generally. you have to look at it in a way that the light isnt
being shown through it at its maximum effect. when I try any of the
buttons on the front(other than power, which functions properly) it
brings up a dialog on the screen saying at the top "video input" and
then it says "Out of range" as the message. so I can't change
brightness or anything.
any ideas? I can also make out my desktop, so I know it is -working-
just not correctly. and the screen goes into standby if you unplug the
video cable, so power seems to work right.

Try dropping your screen RES down in the computer.

??? He can see the desktop. Why would you think running at too high
a resolution cause the backlights to fail?
